For You, My Love, the Happiest of Birthdays

March 24, 2020

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is birthdays.

I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com .

A birthday poem to a reluctant celebrant:

For you, my love, the happiest of birthdays!
Let this be a day your soul shall sing,
Rejoicing in the pleasure that this one day
Must to all who love you surely bring!

You, who give so much, should now be taking
What affection we poor souls can show.
Understand this little fuss we’re making
Is only what mere mortals can bestow,
Touched by love far deeper than we know.
